It’s hard to know what youcan do to help stop climate change, I know. Sometimes I feel pretty helpless and discouraged. Working with other people who have empathy for the earth, for other species, and for the people who will inherit this planet after us has given me a way to do something… and it feels powerful.

Did you know that April is Earth Month? Specifically, Earth Day is coming up on April 22, and YOU CAN DO SOMETHING to help raise climate change awareness (bonus: it’s fun!).

Here’s how: spend ten minutes exploring the FutureCoast project, then get creative and make a voicemail from the future. Your recording will become part of a collaborative authentic fiction exploring how our future may be affected by climate change.

Be brave and imagine yourself in the future. What do you see? Are there houses floating in the water, structures rising into the sky, or is there just… nothing?

Climate change is a vast topic, and is difficult to grasp in a way that makes it truly matter on a personal level. FutureCoast invites you to see yourself in the future, perhaps on an ordinary day, doing something as simple as phoning a friend to discuss the weather. It’s a personal way to imagine how our world will be different 20, 50, 100 years down the line.

Share your vision and help us understand what climate change could mean for life here on earth. Head to futurevoices.net/create or call +1 (321) 7-FCOAST to leave a voicemail to the future.
